Commentary on Acts 4:8
Peter, 'filled with the Holy Ghost,' demonstrates fulfillment of Christ's promise (Luke 12:11-12) that the Spirit would provide words when facing tribunals. This filling differs from Pentecost's - not conversion but empowerment for specific witness. The address 'Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel' shows respect for office while preparing to deliver devastating accusation. Spirit-filling produces boldness, not recklessness; wisdom, not foolishness.
